Two requests for a total of $1,820 were passed during Thursday’s Stuttgart Advertising and Promotion Commission meeting. The Commission passed both requests — for advertisements — unanimously.

The first request came from the Stuttgart Chamber of Commerce for an advertisement in the Stuttgart Chamber produced city magazine and sportsman’s guide.

“We produce 10,000 copies a year of the 158 page magazine. We have one cover for the festival and a different cover for the rest of the year,” Executive Vice President of the Stuttgart Chamber of Commerce Stephen Bell said.

The Chamber doesn’t make a substantial amount of money from the magazine except through advertisement, Bell said, and asked the Commission to sponsor an $800 ad in the magazine promoting upcoming events throughout Stuttgart.

“It gives a good impression of the city,” Bell said.

The Grand Prairie Center proposed a $1,020 ad to run in the statewide publication AY Magazine.

“In November they are going to promote Stuttgart as the destination location,” Grand Prairie Center Director Amanda Holsted said. “So Stuttgart will be the featured site with a ducking hunting article and an article on the festival.”

The magazine distributes 35,000 copies across the state each month.

“So people in other areas — outside our service area — will see this,” Holsted said.

The ad will list the upcoming events at the Grand Prairie Center, Holsted said, which will be three months of shows, a total of six.

Both items were approved.

The Commission also put into effect a projected budget for the inaugural year. The Commission expects to receive $20,000 with $2,000 going towards office expenses and $18,000 going towards applications from the community.
